The launch of the service, called the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store at Starbucks, will take place October 2nd, but Starbucks is one upping the already much hyped launch by adding 50 million free downloads to be given away to their customers.

Included are artists Paul McCartney, Dave Matthews, John Mayer, KT Tunstall, John Legend, Annie Lennox, Joni Mitchell, Keith Urban, Paul McCartney, Sia, Band of Horses, Hilary McRae, Federico Aubele and Sara Bareilles. “Joker Man” by Bob Dylan will be the first song available at launch.
